A method of measuring the modulus of elasticity of human muscle tissue

An experimental method is described for estimating the mechanical properties of human soft tissues by calculating Young's modulus which was defined according to the slope of the hysteresis curve of the test subject, reflecting the dependence of its deformation on the force applied. The main causes of numerous difficulties in obtaining such data and the ways for their overcoming are considered. Experiments were made on the biceps in the isometric mode under different degrees of internal tension. It has been shown that the higher the physical development of the test subject the less the magnitude of Young's modulus. The dependence of its magnitude on the degree of muscular tension is sublinear in character in the group with good physical development and superlinear in that with poor physical development.
